Åsen from Fonnaland/Vikøyvegen
A short hike to the summit of Åsen starting from the bus stop at the main road and heading up the paved side road to Øvre Aksnes. After passing the final house (and a turkey farm, see elbow (Vegard Magnussen)'s trip report as I did not see any turkeys myself), I continued on a tractor road that took me almost all the way to the summit. Reaching the summit was thus straightforward and only required a short off-trail section (less than 150 meters). Still some snow on the tractor road and at the summit area, but it was packed hard and I could easily walk on top of it. No clear highest point and very limited views, hence I did not stay long before returning along the same route. Overall, not the most interesting summit, but the excellent views from Øvre Aksnes more than made up for it.
